I’m having a bit of trouble with this line.
[size=150]ὁ θεὸς ἐφιεὶς ἐχεπευκέα βέλεα αὐτοῖσιν
Check out section 956. The present participles of [size=150]ἵημι
Aha. Thank you. So much to learn.

Yep.
By the way, I would take the participle phrase to be all of [size=150]ἐφιεὶς ἐχεπευκέα βέλεα αὐτοῖσιν

I quess there is not really any way to put that into English without butchering the language, is there?
Something like; The god, shooting sharp arrows at them, was shooting.

How about, “The god, sending sharp arrows upon them, was shooting.”
It still seems excessive in English, but does capture the true meaning of [size=150]ἐφ‐ἵημι
